The optimal decisions to maintain or improve the reliability and functionality of structures and
infrastructure systems can only be achieved through proper integrated management …

Since reinforced concrete structures are normally exposed to several environmental
stressors during their service life, it is necessary to measure the extent of corrosion of …

The neutralisation (carbonation) of concrete usually results in material deterioration of a
reinforced concrete (RC) bridge, so that the seismic capacity of the structure tends to …

The compounding effect of seismicity, exposure to corrosion, and climate change in regions
such as North America pose significant challenges for bridge design engineers, as the …

The main aim of this paper was to build an estimating procedure based on the static
nonlinear analysis (pushover analysis) such that structural engineers can evaluate the …

In this paper, we consider the time at which earthquake events occur when analyzing
seismic structural damage to a deteriorating RC bridge within a specified period. Because …

The main purpose of this work is to propose an estimating procedure that building designers
can use to choose methods of suppressing chloride ingress, ie concrete-cover thickness …

Most engineering systems used in maintenance strategies must consider deterioration and
seismic structural damage. To identify the effects of deterioration and earthquakes …

Concrete components of existing bridges often have complex and time-dependent stresses
due to external load and internal degradation. The reliable information of the stress state …

As a concerted effort to improve the outcomes of bridge asset management, state highway
agencies and Departments of Transportation (DOT) often improve their modes of bridge …
